Poodle Dog Silhouette Ornament Balls!

We had a little tree competition at work and my group wanted to do a theme from the 50's. Here is an ornament I contributed (I was given assignments revolved around dogs...go figure!).

This project is actually very simple. You can do your own dog silhouette ornament too!!

INSTRUCTIONS:

Find a picture of a dog you want to use as a silhouette. Virtually any dog shape of your liking will work. I happened to find some clipart that was already in black silhouette form. All I had to do was scale it down and print.

Cut your image out very carefully with a zacto knife.

Glue it onto the ball. I used Fabri-Tac (amazing stuff!!). Since I wanted my image to be glossy, I painted over the entire silhouette with black fabric paint.

After the fabric paint dried, I used hot pink fabric paint to add a collar and leash. I also used a rhinestone for the id tag. You can never have enough sparkle on a Christmas Tree!

I was pretty happy with the way these ornaments turned out. Went very well with the 50's poodle skirt around the tree and everything else my co-workers made!
